Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department believes in experiential learning as a cornerstone of legal education. Project-based learning is integrated throughout the curriculum to foster critical thinking, collaboration, and practical application.
Mini-projects are assigned during semesters 2 through 5, allowing students to apply classroom knowledge to real-world scenarios. These projects involve case studies, policy analysis, and simulation exercises.
The final-year thesis is a comprehensive research project that requires students to investigate a legal issue in depth. Students work closely with faculty mentors to develop original arguments, conduct extensive literature reviews, and present findings formally.
Students can select their own projects based on personal interests or align with ongoing faculty research initiatives. Each student is paired with a mentor who guides them through the process of selecting a topic, conducting research, and preparing the final deliverable.
Evaluation criteria for these projects include clarity of argumentation, depth of analysis, adherence to legal standards, and presentation quality. The department encourages interdisciplinary approaches, enabling students to integrate insights from other fields like economics, political science, or technology.
